there is another case here in the forum, very uncommon

finally found where my crankcase had blown 2 times leaving me by the side of the road trying to put the valve seal lobes or half moons back into place, the stator was the problem, it probably ignite with a spark the oil fumes that lead to an explosion https://photos.app.goo.gl/CEiBFQLWFpyyvLU28 http...

tapped with an M5

I had this once and eventually worked out that I'd installed the stock rear mud flap incorrectly. IIRC there are a couple of ways it can be wrong, as it isn't symmetrical and also there's a choice of which side of the mounting tab it's on, and only one is correct. It was only rubbing once my weight...

To be fair, if o-rings break up they don't crumb, they just split at one point and are thrown off leaving a rattly chain. Have you had a chance to check the cush drive rubbers yet? yes last time I change the tire less than 500km ago they were perfects. they are also inside closed in they wheel, I d...

only the standard small mudguard near the shock, I'll try to remove it, maybe it could solve this strange thing

I'm thinking that maybe the rubber dust is actually plastic from a worn down chain slider?
Best of luck, Martin

yes sure 100% it's tire rubber

it's a 180/55 Michelin road 4 All the bearings are ok (by touch) the are no signs on the tire of touching hugger or anything, rear tire is aligned and inflated correcly, I't doesn't seems to have odd wearing on it. I'm staring to think that this rubber is attracted by the chain oil from the road or ...

Hi guys I got this problem since months maybe this is a good place to ask. every time I clean the bike and oil the chain after a ride I found a LOT of tire rubber on the swing arm the sprocket and the chain. wha is ? why? Does this rubber come from my rear tire or is it collected by the road ? sorry...

It pop a lot more now with open exhaust

Hi guys, maybe it has been asked before. I just install a pair of illegal arrows as exhaust on my storm, I didn't change the fuel mixture, jets ecc..the bike run great, both the plugs seems ok ( not lean not rich). Can I keep the bike as is now or it's better to change the jets? sorry for my bad eng...

my rear wheel still be misaligned, I got a lot of tire rubber everywhere on the rear, so the tire doesn't work correcly.Both the marks on the swingarm are at the same distance. my question is do I have to trust these marks? this is strange because on the previous tire everythings was ok.cheers p.s. ...

maybe also the chain
